Huckabee a soft target says dems

According to Drudgereport.com

Democrat party officials are avoiding any and all criticism of Republican
presidential contender Mike Huckabee, insiders reveal. The Democratic National
Committee has told staffers to hold all fire, until he secures the party's
nomination. The directive has come down from the highest levels within the
party, according to a top source. Within the DNC, Huckabee is known as the
"glass jaw -- and they're just waiting to break it." In the last three weeks
since Huckabee's surge kicked in, the DNC hasn't released a single press release
criticizing his rising candidacy. The last DNC press release critical of
Huckabee appeared back on March 2nd. [DNC Press Release Attack Summary: Governor
Mitt Romney (R-MA) – 37% (99 press releases) Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) – 28%
(74) Senator John McCain (R-AZ) – 24% (64) Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) – 8%
(20) Governor Mike Huckabee – 2% (4)] In fact, as the story broke over the
weekend that Huckabee said he wanted to isolate AIDS patients back in 1992, the
DNC ignored the opportunity to slam the candidate from the left. "He'll easily
be their McGovern, an easy kill," mocked one senior Democrat operative Tuesday
morning from Washington. "His letting out murderers because they shout 'Jesus',
his wanting to put 300,000 AIDS patients and Magic Johnson into isolation, ain't
even scratching the surface of what we've got on him."The discipline the
Democrats have shown in not engaging Huckabee has earned the praise of one
former Republican Party official: "The Democrats are doing a much better job
restraining themselves than the GOP did in 2003 when Howard Dean looked like he
was on the brink of winning the nomination."A close friend to Huckabee explains:
"Look, Mike is Hillary Clinton's worst nightmare. They should be
squirming."
